You plan to deploy Azure Virtual Desktop to meet the department requirements shown in the following table.
You plan to use Azure Virtual Desktop host pools with load balancing and autoscaling.
You need to recommend a host pool design that meets the requirements. The solution must minimize costs.
What is the minimum number of host pools you should recommend?
To meet the department requirements and minimize costs, you should recommend three Azure Virtual Desktop host pools. Specifically, you will need one host pool for the single-session desktops required by the Research department, another for the multi-session desktops with GPU required by the Engineering department, and a third for both the multi-session desktops without GPU required by the IT department and the RemoteApp required by the Finance department. This approach ensures that all needs are met while keeping the number of host pools to a minimum.
Your company has a main office and two branch offices. Each office connects directly to the internet. The router in each branch office is configured as an endpoint for the following VPNs:
✑ A VPN connection to the main office
✑ A site-to-site VPN to Azure
The routers in each branch office have the Quality of Service (QoS) rules shown in the following table.
Users in the branch office report slow responses and connection errors when they attempt to connect to Azure Virtual Desktop resources.
You need to modify the QoS rules on the branch office routers to improve Azure Virtual Desktop performance.
For which rule should you increase the bandwidth allocation?
To improve Azure Virtual Desktop performance, you should increase the bandwidth allocation for Rule 3. This rule covers HTTP/HTTPS traffic to all Azure and Microsoft 365 public IP addresses. Azure Virtual Desktop primarily uses HTTP/HTTPS protocols for the initial connection and data transmission, so allocating more bandwidth to this traffic type will help address the slow responses and connection errors experienced by the users. Increasing the bandwidth for the traffic directly related to Azure services will ensure a smoother and more responsive experience for the users accessing those resources.
You plan to deploy Azure Virtual Desktop. The deployment will use existing virtual machines.
You create a Azure Virtual Desktop host pool.
You need to ensure that you can add the virtual machines to the host pool.
What should you do first?
Before you can add virtual machines to an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool, you need to ensure that the necessary resource provider for Desktop Virtualization is registered. The Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization provider facilitates the management of virtual desktops and applications in Azure. Without registering this provider, you won't be able to proceed with the creation and management of the Azure Virtual Desktop environment.
You are designing an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.
You identify the network latency between the locations where users reside and the planned deployment.
What should you use to identify the best Azure region to deploy the host pool?
To identify the best Azure region to deploy the host pool based on network latency, you should use the Azure Virtual Desktop Experience Estimator. This tool estimates the connection round trip time (RTT) from your current location to each Azure region where you can deploy virtual machines, helping you to determine the optimal region for your deployment.
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool named Pool1 in the East US region.
You have a storage account named storage1 that contains FSLogix profile containers. In the East US region, you have a shared image gallery named SIG1 that contains a virtual machine image named Image1. Image1 is used to create new session hosts in Pool1.
You plan to deploy a new Azure Virtual Desktop host pool named Pool2 to the South India region.
You need to implement a session host deployment solution for Pool2 that meets the following requirements:
✑ Image1 must replicate in the South India region.
✑ The session hosts in Pool2 must be based on Image1.
✑ Changes to Image1 must be available in the South India and East US regions.
What should you include in the solution?
To meet the requirements of replicating Image1 to the South India region and ensuring that changes to Image1 are available in both the South India and East US regions, you should update the replication for the latest image version of Image1 from the shared image gallery (SIG1). This will allow you to automatically replicate any updates to Image1 across the specified regions, fulfilling the need for synchronization and availability in multiple regions. Creating a new shared image gallery or setting up geo-redundant storage won't automatically ensure that changes to the image are replicated across regions.
